Someone else said this couple reminds them of Miona and Jibri. I feel like Julio has a bit more going on than Jibri did, but Miona and Kierstan are virtually the same chick. Gorgeous but vapid and self absorbed. South Dakota may not be LA or NYC, but it is GORGEOUS country and Miona barely took a glance, same as Kierstan with her constant filming.

I don't understand what Kenny and Armando are doing on this show.  This makes no sense to me.  I guess it's because they are a fan favourite and it gives them another go at the TLC money but it makes me like them a little less.  I'm sure they'd be really heartbroken to hear that though.

OMG! It was driving me crazy! All she does is film herself!

Thank you so much, I believe you are correct. And I've confused Violet with Mary, while forgetting names of the other women. And when I was looking for a specific couple it ended up being on Match me Abroad. So I'm all over the place with too many comments and not knowing where to go to snark, lol.

If you see me on the wrong platform again, Mr Buh Bye, can you just shoot me a quick message and redirect?

I wish ALL the couples from all the variations of 90-day fiance were listed in the couples forum. Then I only need to go to one site.

I have a friend who went to South Africa with a tour, and she said it was both the most beautiful place she had ever seen and also the most terrifying.  It was so bad that wandering around could be a death sentence, or at least an unpleasant encounter.   It's a pity because I'm sure not all South Africans are grifters and thieves like Ronald, and so far Wayne seems all right, but no way, no how.  Haven't these people ever watched the show?

..

Kenny and Armando by contrast have the healthiest relationship, but I think they got so caught up in Armando's family drama that they didn't have serious discussions about what kind of life they wanted to have, and where.  I can see that Armando wants another child, and I can see Kenny not wanting to spend his 60;s and 70's with a young child.  He may never see that child as an adult, nor grandchildren by him or her.  They are in such different stages of life and it's starting to bite them.

I was thinking it's a happy coincidence that he's a plumber,  because of how much drain unclogging they'll have to do with her hair.

This is the same conflict Kenny and Armando had last season.  It makes me a bit skeptical that these are real challenges in their relationship, and that they're not just milking the Sharp bucks..

She also says "Valentime's Day."  Please kill me now.

I noticed that too.  I cannot tell you the amount of time I have invested in correcting my daughter.  If I had to say, "it's ValentiNe's, with an 'n" one more time.  😒

I just watched tonight.  Holly's hair is gross.  I was surprised that she is a hair stylist/barber.  She should know that she's not fooling anyone with that fake hair.  Wayne seems nice so far.  No matter amount of nice and attractive is making me move to South Africa, though. 

Julio and Kiersten are both very pretty.  That's all I have on them for now. 

Brandan and Mary are weird.  And a round trip ticket may cost $2000, but he's known her for 3 years.  One of them should have been able to save that much money in 3 years.  It doesn't seem like either of them has a job, which is a major red flag IMO. 

I don't blame Kenny for not wanting another kid at age 60.  Armando should have considered that before they married if he was adamant about wanting another one.

Also, how cute is Julio's friend Vincent/Vicente?

Maybe that’s why she stopped cutting women’s hair because they would call her out on it.  Plus it’s like hiring a fat personal trainer.

That makes sense.  When she said she stopped cutting women's hair because of their whining, I assumed that the whining was because she was bad at cutting hair.  I was not impressed with the haircut she gave the guy she was barbering.

and he’s holding onto this “relationship” with Mary to fill some deep emotional holes. I am so glad his Mom is doing better and is sober now, and recognizes how many years she lost with her kids because of addiction.

Mary- I saw that she was raised by her grandparents because her parents left.

These two observations have me at the conclusion that because of  abandonment issues when they were young, they must interpret a 24/7 relationship as a sign of love because they're always there for each other, as opposed to never there.

Also, genetic addiction can transfer into emotional addiction which is what this 24/7 obsessive viewing relationship is.

Exactly, and I cannot help but look at her hair, and thick makeup as "dirty". That's the only word I can think of because when I look at her I want to throw her in the shower and scrub her down.

KIM: Leave India and TJ NOW!  The circumstances, the behaviors, the attitudes towards women, the parents---No. Totally NO. 

BRANDON: TMI. Ewwwww. 

KIRSTEN: Why should she want to move here? Because surely everyone wants to live like an American? *sarcasm*

S. A. Danger: The prevalence of violent break-ins comprised the entire defense of Oscar Pistorius.

VALENTIME'S?!: Thankfully I've not heard this in RL! I would tell the mis-speaker that the word is a person's name, not a measure of time. 

Here's what I cannot abide with ANY of these dating and fiancee and marriage shows: BUTTINSKY RELATIVES!  I'll leave it at that.
